F. Helpful Hints
When operating your Harman
®
Absolute43 Pellet Stove, follow basic safety standards. Read these instructions carefully before you attempt to operate the Absolute43 Pellet
Stove. Failure to do so may result in damage to property or personal injury and may void the product warranty.
Cleaning Burn Pot: Whenever your stove is not burning, take the opportunity to scrape the burn pot to remove carbon buildup.
A vacuum cleaner is handy to remove the residue. Be sure the stove is cold if you use a vacuum.
Carbon buildup can be scraped loose with the fire burning using the special tool provided with your stove. Scrape the floor and sides of the burn pot. The carbon will be pushed out by the incoming fuel.
Always wear gloves when scraping the burnpot.
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Other waste shall not be placed in this container.
Soot and Flyash Formation and Need for Removal: The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash.
The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
When burning wood pellets on low, the potential exists for creosote to form. The venting system should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season to determine if creosote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (1/8” or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. If a fire occurs, call the fire department, shut down the stove, and evacuate the residence. Before using the appliance, have the venting system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged components.
With any hearth appliance, installation of smoke detectors is recommended on every level of the home.
Possible causes of smoke detector activation:
Paint curing process - Open a window near the appliance for the first few hours of burning.
Exhaust being drawn back inside the dwelling - Outside air connection to the appliance is necessary.
Vent leakage - All interior seams and joints should be sealed with silicone where applicable. Follow vent manufacturers instructions for proper sealing.
!
CAUTION
This appliance must be vented to the outside
G. Fuel Specifications
The Absolute43 Pellet Stove is approved for burning any grade of pelletized bio-mass fuel.
It should be noted, however, that higher ash content will require more frequent cleaning.
The moisture content of pellets must not exceed 8%. Higher moisture will rob BTU’s and may not burn properly.
Fuel should not be stored within the stove installation clearances or within the space required for cleaning and ash removal.
Fuel and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can fluctuate from manufacturer to manufacturer, and even from bag to bag.
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends using only fuel that is certified by the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI).
Fuel Material
• Made from sawdust and/or other wood by-products
• Source material typically determines ash content
Higher Ash Content Material
• Hardwoods with high mineral content
• Bark and leaves as source material
• “Standard” grade pellets and other biomass
Lower Ash Content Material
• Softwood; pine, fir, etc.
• Materials with lower mineral content
• “Premium” grade pellets
Performance
• Higher ash content requires more frequent maintenance.
• “Premium” grade pellets will produce the highest heat output.
• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can cause inconsistent feeding and/or ignition.
Clinkers
• Minerals and other non-combustible materials, like sand, will turn into a hard glass-like substance when heated.
• Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content.
For this reason, some fuels will produce more clinkers than others.
Moisture
• Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content takes energy to dry and tends to cool the appliance thus, robbing heat from your home.
• Damp pellet fuel could turn back into sawdust which does not flow properly through the feed system.
Harman® • Absolute43 Owner’s Manual_R9 • 2015 -___ • 10/15 3-90-777000
G. Fuel Specifications
(Cont.)
Storage
• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until ready to use, to prevent moisture.
• Do not store fuel within the specified clearance areas, or in a location that will interfere with routine cleaning and maintenance procedures.
NOTICE
Hearth & Home Technologies is not responsible for stove performance or extra maintenance required as a result of using fuel with higher ash or mineral content.
!
CAUTION
Do not burn fuel that contains an additive.
• May cause hopper fire
• Damage to product may result
Read the list of ingredients on the packaging.
!
CAUTION
Tested and approved for use with wood pellets ONLY.
Burning of any other fuel will void your warranty.
!
WARNING
BURNING COLORED PAPER, CARDBOARD,
SOLVENTS, TRASH AND GARBAGE OR ALTERING
THE STOVE FOR HIGHER HEAT OUTPUT MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND COULD RESULT IN
A HOUSE FIRE. USE ONLY APPROVED FUELS AND
FOLLOW ONLY THESE OPERATION GUIDELINES.
!
WARNING
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE
IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE HEATER, WHILE IN USE.
!
WARNING
Tested and approved for use with wood pellets ONLY.
Burning of any other fuel will void your warranty.

Weekly or when adding fuel, take the opportunity to clean the burn pot.
(Weekly at minimum)
• Pull the flame enhancer forward to access the grate surface and pull any ashes from in front of the fire using the burn pot scraper allowing it into the ash pan.
• Scrape the grate surface downward, toward the auger.
Figure 2.1. Any carbon deposits loosened at this time will be pushed out as new fuel is fed in.
Monthly, or after each ton of fuel burned:
After burning approximately 1 ton of pellets, a more thorough cleaning is required to keep your stove running efficiently.
When the stove has completely cooled and stopped running, it’s now safe to clean.
• Shut down the stove.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
• Pull up on cover handle to gain access to igniter element and cradle. Figure 2.2.
• Using the brush supplied, brush the igniter element free of any ash or debris. Figure 2.2.
The burnpot grate can be removed if needed. Figure 2.3.
• Remove the flame Enhancer by pulling straight up removing tabs from burn pot sides.
• Remove the (2) 1/2” allen head bolts from each side of the burn pot.
• Slide the grate toward you to remove.
NOTE: the grate does not need to be removed to properly clean the igniter. This part is removable for part(s) replacement only.
!
DANGER
Disconnect the power to the unit before removing cover.

D. Combustion Fan Chamber
Monthly Cleaning- continued:
The combustion inlet cover is located behind the ash pan that must be removed to properly clean the combustion fan blade. Figure 2.4.
• Remove combustion inlet cover by pulling up on cover.
This allows access to the combustion fan blade and exhaust path. Figure 2.4.
• Remove any flyash or debris that has collected around combustion fan blade with the provided paint brush.
• Clean exhaust passage.
NOTE: The ESP Sensor is located just inside the exhaust passage. Be sure not to damage the ESP Sensor while cleaning the exhaust passage.
• Once cleaned replace combustion inlet cover and ashpan.
Glass - Replacement (Cont.)
Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material, and hold down clips (set aside).
Install the self adhesive 1/4” gasket material around the front face of the glass. Set the glass panel and gasket gently onto the door. Install the hold down clips and tighten with bolts.
Be sure to keep firing and de-ashing doors closed and insure all seals are maintained and are in good condition
Replace glass only with high temperature mirrored ceramic glass.

E. Glass Maintenance
The glass used in your stove is manufactured to exact standards to withstand the high heat of the fire, but like all glass, it must be treated with common sense and care. Never abuse the glass by slamming the door shut or striking the glass with a heavy object.
If the glass is broken or damaged, do not operate the stove until it has been replaced.
Glass - Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean accumulated ash from the glass surface; allowing this ash to remain on the glass for long periods can result in “etching” due to the acidity of the ash. Never clean the glass while it is hot, and
do not use abrasive substances. Wash the surface with cool water, and rinse thoroughly. You may wish to use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for use on stove glass. In any case, dry thoroughly before relighting your stove.
Glass - Replacement
If the stove’s glass is cracked or broken, you must replace it before operating your stove. Remove pieces carefully. Replace glass only with Harman
®
replacement glass;
do not use substitutes.
Glass Gasket
Inspect door gasket during cleaning and inspection
F. Firebox
Yearly Cleaning:
Remove flyash and carbon buildup from the smooth surfaces of the heat exchanger as well as other surfaces inside the firebox. Figure 2.7.
Figure 2.7
Scrape these areas free of flyash or carbon buildup

HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.
WARRANTY PERIOD:
Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent, authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.
The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances.

B. Limited Lifetime Warranty (continued)
WARRANTY CONDITIONS:
• This warranty only covers HHT appliances that are purchased through an HHT authorized dealer or distributor. A list of
HHT authorized dealers is available on the HHT branded websites.
• This warranty is only valid while the HHT appliance remains at the site of original installation.
• This warranty is only valid in the country in which the HHT authorized dealer or distributor that sold the appliance resides.
• Contact your installing dealer for warranty service. If the installing dealer is unable to provide necessary parts, contact the nearest HHT authorized dealer or supplier. Additional service fees may apply if you are seeking warranty service from a dealer other than the dealer from whom you originally purchased the product.
• Check with your dealer in advance for any costs to you when arranging a warranty call. Travel and shipping charges for parts are not covered by this warranty.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:
This warranty does not cover the following:
• Changes in surface finishes as a result of normal use. As a heating appliance, some changes in color of interior and exterior surface finishes may occur. This is not a flaw and is not covered under warranty.
• Damage to printed, plated, or enameled surfaces caused by fingerprints, accidents, misuse, scratches, melted items, or other external sources and residues left on the plated surfaces from the use of abrasive cleaners or polishes.
• Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal wear and tear during the warranty period. These parts include: paint, wood, pellet and coal gaskets, firebricks, grates, flame guides, batteries and the discoloration of glass.
• Minor expansion, contraction, or movement of certain parts causing noise. These conditions are normal and complaints related to this noise are not covered by this warranty.
• Damages resulting from: (1) failure to install, operate, or maintain the appliance in accordance with the installation instructions, operating instructions, and listing agent identification label furnished with the appliance; (2) failure to install the appliance in accordance with local building codes; (3) shipping or improper handling; (4) improper operation, abuse, misuse, continued operation with damaged, corroded or failed components, accident, or improperly/ incorrectly performed repairs; (5) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation, negative pressure, or drafting caused by tightly sealed constructions, insufficient make-up air supply, or handling devices such as exhaust fans or forced air furnaces or other such causes; (6) use of fuels other than those specified in the operating instructions; (7) installation or use of components not supplied with the appliance or any other components not expressly authorized and approved by HHT; (8) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing; and/or (9) interruptions or fluctuations of electrical power supply to the appliance.
• Non-HHT venting components, hearth components or other accessories used in conjunction with the appliance.
• Any part of a pre-existing fireplace system in which an insert or a decorative gas appliance is installed.
• HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to the appliance’s capability to heat the desired space. Information is provided to assist the consumer and the dealer in selecting the proper appliance for the application. Consideration must be given to appliance location and configuration, environmental conditions, insulation and air tightness of the structure.
This warranty is void if:
• The appliance has been over-fired or operated in atmospheres contaminated by chlorine, fluorine, or other damaging chemicals. Over-firing can be identified by, but not limited to, warped plates or tubes, rust colored cast iron, bubbling, cracking and discoloration of steel or enamel finishes.
• The appliance is subjected to prolonged periods of dampness or condensation.
• There is any damage to the appliance or other components due to water or weather damage which is the result of, but not limited to, improper chimney or venting installation.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY:
• The owner’s exclusive remedy and HHT’s sole obligation under this warranty, under any other warranty, express or implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above. In no event will HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states do not allow exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY
SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE
EXPRESSED WARRANTY SPECIFIED ABOVE.

C. Loss of Power
Minimizing Smoke During Loss of Power Using Battery
Back-up
Harman® strongly recommends installing battery backup to minimize entry of smoke into the room in the event of power loss.
Your pellet/biomass burning appliance relies on a combustion blower to remove exhaust. A power failure will cause the combustion blower to stop. This may lead to exhaust seeping into the room. Vertical rise in the venting may provide natural draft. It is, however, no guarantee against leakage.
There are two Harman® approved battery back-up options for your appliance:
Uninterruptible Power Supply UPS battery back-ups are available online or at computer and office equipment stores.
Your Harman® appliance with Rev E or later software available beginning in November 2010 may be plugged directly into a Harman® approved UPS:
• The APC (American Power Conversion) model
#BE750G and the TrippLite model INTERNET750U are tested and approved. Other brands or models may not be compatible.
When power is lost, a fully charged UPS will power a safe, combustion blower only shut-down. Your appliance will pulse the blower every few seconds to clear exhaust until the fire is out.
NOTE: The UPS provides safe shut-down only. It is not intended for continued operation.
• The Surefire 512 connects to a 12 volt deep cycle battery that will run your appliance for up to eight (8) hours. It includes a trickle charge feature that keeps your battery charged when power is available. NOTE: If the power is out for longer than battery life, smoke leakage may still occur unless your stove has been safely shut down.
Your appliance will recognize when power is restored. What happens depends on ESP temperature and whether it is equipped with automatic ignition:
•
In “Automatic” Mode, units equipped with automatic ignition will respond to the set point and ESP temperature and resume normal operation.
• In “Idle” Mode, or for units without automatic ignition:
• If the ESP is cool, the appliance will remain shut down.
• If the fire is out and the ESP is still warm, the feeder may restart. Since the fire is out, the ESP temperature will not rise. The unit will then shut-down, and may flash a six-blink status error. (See ESP error codes)
• If the fire is still burning, it will resume normal operation.
Contact your dealer if you have questions about UPS compatibility with your appliance.
!
WARNING
Use only Harman
®
approved battery back-up devices.
Other products may not operate properly, can create unsafe conditions or damage your appliance.
Always keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed and latched during operation and during power failures to minimize risk of smoke or burn-back.
D. Emergency Manual Ignition
Harman
®
pellet stoves and inserts should be lit using the automatic ignition system. This is the safest and most reliable way for igniting the unit. In the event the automatic igniter is not functioning, the steps below may be followed to manually light the stove or insert in the “Constant Burn” mode. Manual lighting is for emergency purposes only, and the igniter should be repaired or replaced as soon as practical.
!
!
CAUTION
WARNING
Only use firestarter commercially marketed for pellet stoves and inserts, including wax coated wood chips, pellet starter gel and pellet igniter blocks. Use of any other type of firestarter is prohibited.
To avoid serious injury or death read and follow manufacturer’s warning and instructions for use of firestarter.
Use of firestarter is only permitted when performing a cold start.
Never attempt to manually light a stove or insert that has been operated recently and is not at room temperature.
If automatic ignition was attempted, be sure to give the stove or insert at least 30 minutes or longer to cool to room temperature.
Be sure that the stove or insert is in the “Igniter - Disabled” mode of operation.
Once all the precautions have been taken, follow these steps:
1. On the touch control, select the Burn Mode icon then select “Constant Burn”.
2. Arrow back and select the Igniter icon then select “Manual” for the ignition method. Select the Home Icon to go back to the Main Menu.
3. Fill burn pot with pellets, only half way. (Do Not Over Fill).
4. Add firestarter to pellets following manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Light pellet gel with a match, and close the door, touch the On/Off icon on the home screen. Operation will begin when the fire reaches the proper temperature.
